ACHARACLE MEDICAL PRACTICE NEWS
At the Medical Centre, we are slightly streamlining our appointment
timetable, in order we can provide you, our patients, with a slicker
service !

At Strontian, the only change is to the nurse’s appointments.
Allison, our Practice Nurse will be in Strontian every Tuesday
morning and Thursday morning, this will help with appointments for
routine things like blood pressures, blood tests and dressing
changes. It also means blood samples taken in the morning can be
despatched in the afternoon. This will free up more Doctor
appointment's, enabling the Doctor to be in Strontian on Thursday
afternoons.

In Kilchoan, the Doctor will be taking surgery on Tuesday mornings
and Friday mornings, this would mean the clinics are more spaced out
to enable a better review of patients and again would mean any
bloods taken in the morning are despatched promptly.

The District nurses have agreed to extend their clinic at Kilchoan
on a Thursday from 10am till 1pm. This is by appointment only, to
book an appointment with the District nurses, please phone the pines
medical centre on 01967 431231.

A copy of this will be placed in the "De tha dol" and copies will be
sent to the surgeries to display.

Acharacle Medical Practice, in line with most
practices in Highland, will be closing each day at lunchtime from
1.00pm until 2.00pm with effect from Monday 3rd August 2015.

The answerphone will be on during this time and will give a mobile
number for you to ring if you require the Doctor urgently, and it
cannot wait until 2.00pm. The answerphone is unable to take
messages. The surgery and phone line will reopen at 2.00pm. In an
emergency, as always, please call 999.

Out of Hours & Emergency Calls
If you require a Doctor out of hours or in an emergency please
telephone the surgery on 01967 431231.
If you feel you have a problem which needs to be dealt with the same
day, please ring the surgery and inform the receptionist that you
wish to be seen the same day. We have a Duty Doctor available every
day who is responsible for dealing with home visits and emergency
appointments or telephone advice.

Out of hours your call will be answered by NHS24. If you need a
doctor NHS24 will arrange for the Duty Doctor to call you back.
